Dimitri: Faerghus has changed.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: What a headache.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: It hasn't hit me yet.
Yuri: Let's do our best.
Byleth: I'll be accompanying you.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: Please keep them safe.
???: She's been planning this...
???: Are we really doing this?
???: The Kingdom army...
???: I've seen you before.
???: I fled from Garreg Mach.
???: Camulus...
???: I don't understand it.
Mage: They're just gossipmongers.
???: Have you heard about Abyss?
Metodey: Come on, Sylvain.
Kostas: Ugh.
Metodey: Lonato...
Kostas: He's just too honorable.
Rufus: I can't believe we're all here.
Rufus: I'm worried.
Byleth: We're in a bit of a bind.
Dimitri: About those materials...
link Arval
Your tent is rather nice, isn't it? I suppose it pays to be a commander.
link Shez
You said it. Things're totally different here compared to all the small-time outfits I used to run with.

Now I've got my own space where I can kick back and keep all my stuff in order.

This probably means they expect a lot from you. More than your title implies, I would imagine.
link Shez
Yeesh, this camp is something else. Did you see how many merchants we've got?
link Shez
Yeesh, this camp is something else. Did you see how many merchants we've got?
link Arval
Are you finished sightseeing yet? I believe I heard your employer calling for you.
Leonie: About our plan...
link Dimitri
Ah, I was waiting for you, [HERO_MF]. Allow me to explain our plan of action.
link Dimitri
You must not let your guard down, no matter who we face. Do make sure you are fully prepared for what lies ahead.
link Dimitri
For instance, have you had a chance to use the training grounds or browse the marketplace yet?
link Dimitri
There are facilities where you can improve your weapons and prepare for battle. Be sure to make use of them.
link Shez
We've got the bare necessities at least. Time to get to work.

link Rodrigue
Oh, [HERO_MF]! Do you have a moment?
Leonie: ...
link Rodrigue
I apologize for stealing you away at such a busy time, but I have a request.
link Rodrigue
The truth is, we're lacking in hands to help with tasks around the camp. Would you mind volunteering?
link Rodrigue
The chore master is ready to direct anyone who wishes to volunteer.
link Rodrigue
The chore master is ready to direct anyone who wishes to volunteer.
Byleth: Thank you for your help.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: Want to grab something to eat?
link Rodrigue
Great work, [HERO_MF]. We couldn't have done it without you.
link Rodrigue
Hmm. Your face tells me you're hungry.
link Rodrigue
Felix, please show [HERO_MF] where the mess hall is. You said you were feeling peckish as well, right?
link Felix
What? Why do I have to... Fine, whatever. You have any preferences, [HERO_MF]?
link Felix
That was back when you were a mercenary. But fine. I guess we'll see how good your cooking is.
link Felix
Help yourself to our food reserves. Just don't go wasting them.
link Shez
Well, I usually make my own food, so...

Help yourself to our food reserves. Just don't go wasting them.
Byleth: I'll be accompanying you.
<<EMPTY NAME>>: By the way...
link Felix
I'm surprised you can make something this good with ingredients from Faerghus. I bet the others enjoyed it too.
link Felix
I'm sure that'll go a long way in gaining their trust. Throwing in a few gifts wouldn't hurt either.
link Felix
That's just common sense. Not that stuff like that works on me, mind you. But anyway, you've probably picked up things on the battlefield, right?
link Felix
Maybe you could try giving someone a gift. People like that sort of thing.
link Shez
That's true. Maybe I should give something to Dimitri?
link Shez
That's true. Maybe I should give something to Dimitri?
Leonie: ...
link Felix
Maybe you could try giving someone a gift. People like that sort of thing.
link Dimitri
Is everything all right, [HERO_MF]? Do you need something?
link Shez
Welp, that sure kept me busy. Maybe we should head out to the next battle soon?
link Shez
Welp, that sure kept me busy. Maybe we should head out to the next battle soon?
Leonie: ...
<<EMPTY NAME>>: What a headache.
link Dedue
I have something to discuss with you, [HERO_MF].
link Dedue
I saw you gathering materials from our previous battle. I'd like you to take care of them.
link Dedue
They can be used to expand the camp facilities.
link Dedue
Speak with the facilities master for more information on expanding a facility.
link Dedue
Speak with the facilities master for more information on expanding a facility.
link ???
You can survey the regions you've conquered to acquire materials for facility expansion.
link ???
If you find yourself marching someplace new, make sure you do a survey once you've conquered it!
Dimitri: Faerghus has changed.
link Shez
Expanding our facilities like that'll make sure we're ready for whatever the next battle throws at us.
link Shez
Expanding our facilities like that'll make sure we're ready for whatever the next battle throws at us.
link Dimitri
Oh, hello. My apologies, I was caught up in my own thoughts.
link Dimitri
More importantly, we need to focus on the coming battle. The Imperial army is quite formidable.
link Dimitri
They will be unlike any other opponent we have fought these past two years.
link Dimitri
I want to ensure you are fully prepared. And...I am sorry for dragging you into this.
link Shez
Sorry. Didn't mean to bother you.
link Shez
Sorry. Didn't mean to bother you.
link Dimitri
There is no need to apologize. It was nothing of consequence.
link Shez
You OK? Seems like you're always working yourself to the bone. You could do with a break.
link Shez
You OK? Seems like you're always working yourself to the bone. You could do with a break.
link Dimitri
First Dedue, now you. I promise, there is no need for concern.
link Dedue
Faerghus has changed over these two years. Both in the army's structure, and within the hierarchy of lords.
link Dedue
And with the ruler of the Duscur Peninsula, Viscount Kleiman, dealt with...
link Dedue
My people have begun moving back to their homes.
link Shez
Duscur is your home too, right? Are you gonna go back?
link Shez
Duscur is your home too, right? Are you gonna go back?
link Dedue
No. My place is with His Majesty. From now until the end of time.
link Shez
That just shows how hard you've all worked. But this is only the start. There's a lot more to be done.
link Shez
That just shows how hard you've all worked. But this is only the start. There's a lot more to be done.
link Dedue
Yes, you are right.
link Felix
Since the Empire declared war, Fraldarius has been taking in refugees from Garreg Mach as well.
link Felix
Though, as you know, the Kingdom barely has enough resources to support its own citizens.
link Felix
It's no simple matter to secure goods and land for extra people. There's been some civil unrest, which has led to a rise in bandit attacks.
link Shez
In the long run, we can't just focus on subduing the bandits. Maybe if we find a way to give work to the refugees...
link Shez
In the long run, we can't just focus on subduing the bandits. Maybe if we find a way to give work to the refugees...
link Shez
Though the fastest solution would be to take back Garreg Mach so they can all go home.
link Shez
Though the fastest solution would be to take back Garreg Mach so they can all go home.
link Felix
That would be the best option if we could pull it off. But I doubt the Empire will just give in.
link Shez
I don't know much about this governing stuff, but it sounds like you lords have it rough.
link Shez
I don't know much about this governing stuff, but it sounds like you lords have it rough.
link Felix
You're telling me. Honestly, I'd love to abandon my duties, but that wouldn't solve a thing.
link Ashe
I'm sure Lonato has already heard about Faerghus's decision to shelter the Central Church.
link Ashe
If he ends up betraying the Kingdom over this, then I might have to fight him.
link Ashe
I've already sworn to serve Faerghus, though, so I have to steel myself for that possibility.
link Sylvain
You're probably well aware, but the hierarchy in western Faerghus has undergone some major changes these past two years.
link Sylvain
His Majesty tried for the longest time to find a solution that would make everyone happy, including the commoners.
link Sylvain
But nothing's easy in this world. It's impossible to avoid bloodshed completely.
link Sylvain
Knowing that, he could've tried to push off the responsibility onto someone else and pretended he wasn't involved.
link Sylvain
But His Majesty is far too honorable for that. I just hope this doesn't turn into a full-on civil war.
link Mercedes
I never imagined we'd all meet again under these circumstances.
link Mercedes
When I heard that we were aiding the church and there was going to be a war, I couldn't stand idly by.
link Mercedes
Annie and I rushed to the castle and met up with Ashe.
link Mercedes
We had an audience with Dimitri and begged him to let us fight as well.
link Mercedes
I've studied hard over these past two years, you know. I'm certain I'll be able to help.
link Mercedes
We're already struggling and we haven't even faced their main forces yet. I'm worried for Lady Rhea's safety.
link Mercedes
We need to hurry to Ailell. If anything were to happen to the people from the church...
link Mercedes
No, I mustn't assume the worst. I'm sorry. I'm just so frightened.
link Annette
Hey, it's been a while! Or maybe it hasn't... We did bump into each other in Fhirdiad on occasion.
link Annette
So, we're going to be at war soon, huh? It honestly hasn't quite hit me yet.
link Shez
Me neither. It's hard to take in when you're faced with battles this size.
link Shez
Me neither. It's hard to take in when you're faced with battles this size.
link Shez
But we've fought plenty of smaller battles these past two years, so you'll get used to it before long.
link Shez
But we've fought plenty of smaller battles these past two years, so you'll get used to it before long.
link Annette
Just the answer I'd expect from you, [HERO_MF]. I guess I could learn a thing or two from you.
link Shez
Oh yeah? I told my troops they'll feel it soon enough once they start swinging their weapons around.
link Shez
Oh yeah? I told my troops they'll feel it soon enough once they start swinging their weapons around.
link Annette
Hm, maybe I should go do some training then.
link Ingrid
I can't believe it's been two years, [HERO_MF]. I've heard a lot about what you've been doing.
link Ingrid
It sounds like you've presided over a great number of battles. We'll be counting on you for this next one too.
link Ingrid
But in any case, let's just both do our best. We can't afford to lose.
link Shez
Yeah, I've got your back. I'm gonna fight as hard as I can against the Empire.
link Shez
Yeah, I've got your back. I'm gonna fight as hard as I can against the Empire.
link Ingrid
I'm glad to hear that. Let's make sure we all survive this.
link Ingrid
But in any case, let's just both do our best. We can't afford to lose.
link Shez
I don't think I've done anything all that impressive. I hope you're not expecting too much from me.
link Shez
I don't think I've done anything all that impressive. I hope you're not expecting too much from me.
link Ingrid
Hm. It's not like you to be so humble.
link Ingrid
But in any case, let's just both do our best. We can't afford to lose.
link Rodrigue
I will accompany you in the coming battle. I have far more freedom now that I've stepped down from my post as Duke Fraldarius.
link Rodrigue
I'd planned to leave our territory entirely to my son, but I hear he's commanding a unit in this war as well.
link Rodrigue
So my wife and younger brother are temporarily in charge of Fraldarius.
link Rodrigue
Though of course I've told Felix he'll have to return from time to time to check on things.
link Gustave
I will return to the capital after seeing you all off.
link Gustave
We must ensure Fhirdiad is well defended in His Majesty's absence.
link Gustave
Please, I ask that you keep His Majesty safe. And my daughter Annette as well.
link Gustave
I will return to the capital after seeing you all off.
link Gustave
We must ensure Fhirdiad is well defended in His Majesty's absence.
link Arval
War is such a human enterprise.
link Arval
In that sense, we are very much the same as those on the other side.
link Arval
But we cannot coexist, so we are determined to kill each other. I suppose that's the nature of this beast.
link Sylvain
So we're meeting up at the Valley of Torment, huh? Ugh, must we?
link Ashe
Come on, Sylvain. Complaining about it won't do us any good.
link Sylvain
I'm gonna guess you've never been to Ailell. That's the only way you could say that with a straight face.
link Shez
You know, I don't think I've ever been there either. What's it like?
link Shez
You know, I don't think I've ever been there either. What's it like?
link Sylvain
For one thing, you can't take a step without running into lava or scorching hot steam vents.
link Sylvain
The whole valley is as hot as the sun. You'd probably faint from merely standing around.
link Ashe
But there's nowhere else we can meet them. We'll just have to brace ourselves.
link Shez
Sylvain. It's gonna hurt morale if a general like you goes around griping all the time.
link Shez
Sylvain. If a general like you goes around griping all the time, it's gonna hurt morale.
link Sylvain
Yeah, well, I think an army that forbids its generals from speaking their minds wouldn't be any good, either.
link Ashe
Huh... Sylvain might have a point.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
It looks like Emperor Edelgard has spent these past two years steadily preparing for war.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
She removed the regent, Lord Arundel, then she dismissed Prime Minister Aegir and established the Southern Church...
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
She might've even been plotting this while she was at the Officers Academy.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Hey, Commander, are we really doing this? If we take in the church, we'll have an honest-to-goodness war on our hands.
link Shez
If you wanna leave, now's your chance. I won't stop you, and neither will Dimitri.
link Shez
If you wanna leave, now's your chance. I won't stop you, and neither will Dimitri.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Aw, c'mon, don't be like that. We've fought together for two years now. I'd never abandon you, or the Kingdom.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
The Kingdom army has taken on members of the Knights of Seiros and refugee volunteers.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I'm glad to have them, of course, but there's no way to vet all their backgrounds.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
We need to keep a sharp eye out. If you notice anyone suspicious, make sure you take action.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Hm... That's right, I've seen you in the king's conference room before.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I serve the leaders of Duscur. I've been sent to aid your expedition.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Many of my subordinates don't speak Fódlan's language, so there may be some issues, but I hope we can all work together.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I used to do business at Garreg Mach, until I suddenly heard that a war was starting.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
And so I fled here to the Kingdom along with others from the town and monastery.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
As I understand it, Blaiddyd, Fraldarius, and Charon territories are all taking in refugees.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I'm traveling around to earn a living, but my wife and kid are staying in a port town in Fraldarius.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Fhirdiad is without a doubt the largest city in Blaiddyd territory.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
However, Camulus in the west is also a town of fair size and boasts a historic cathedral at its center to boot.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I heard that most of the clergy who made it to the Kingdom are planning to settle there.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I have served the church for quite some time, and it is unfathomable that anyone should think it corrupt.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Both Lady Rhea and Seteth severely punish any who take bribes or commit a crime.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
But I suppose if someone has already declared their judgment corrupt, then there is nothing I can say to change that.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Though I suppose the same thing applies to the Empire if you think about it.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
Everyone thinks my marriage was purely political. They say His Majesty arranged it to weaken the influence of the western territories.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
I concede that His Majesty is taking a harsh stance towards the western lords, including my father, Viscount Mateus.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
So I can't deny there were political implications when I married into House Gautier.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
But my wife and I married because we wanted to. I want to make sure everyone knows that.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
There's a town beneath Garreg Mach that's home to some outcasts. It's called Abyss.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
One of my friends lived down there until just recently.
link <<EMPTY NAME>>
They sent me some very eye-opening letters from that place.
link ???
Here you can train your mind and body and gain proficiency in new classes.
link ???
It never hurts to be prepared. I'm sure I'll be seeing you often.
link ???
Sorry, we're still figuring out our strategy. You should go and make sure you're fully prepared.
link ???
I'm responsible for doling out our marching orders. Give me a shout if you want to deploy for battle.
link ???
You can exchange materials to expand our facilities here.
link ???
I hope to see you make many improvements so we're fully prepared for battle!
link ???
Welcome! Take a gander at all our wondrous weapons!
link ???
'Fraid I'm still setting up shop. Mind waiting a bit?
link ???
I've got plenty of goods that will surely come in handy! I look forward to doing business with you.
link ???
Sorry, we're still getting things ready. You have some time to kill before we're open.
link ???
We provide food for everyone in the army here.
link ???
Feel free to bring in ingredients and make your own meals.
link ???
I'm looking for volunteers to help around the camp.
link ???
We all need to chip in to make life here as pleasant as possible.
link ???
Thank you so much for volunteering. I hope you'll do it again.
